East West Petroleum Provides Update On Operations In New Zealand

November 14, 2013

Vancouver, British Columbia – November 14th, 2013 East West Petroleum Corp. (the “Company”), is pleased to provide the following update on its operations in New Zealand.

As reported by East West’s partner in New Zealand, TAG Oil Ltd. (“TAG”) in its quarterly update, the Cheal E-1 well has completed five days of its 15 day production test. To date the well has tested with an average production rate of 600 boepd (94% oil) with a naturally flowing tubing head pressure of approximately 600 psi. The well has been restricted with a 1/4” choke until further oil storage facilities are added to the site, following greater than anticipated initial flush production rates.

The Cheal E-1 to E-3 wells have now been drilled and completed and the E-4 well is currently drilling. To ensure reliable production forecasting on future wells in this emerging Urenui/Mt. Messenger play, the Cheal E site wells will be initially tested individually, with each well flowing for approximately 15 days, and then shut in temporarily to conduct pressure and temperature analysis. During this shut-in period, the next well will be placed on a 15-day production test until all new wells at the site have been individually tested and proper build-up analysis completed. Production infrastructure has been completed on the Cheal E site, which will allow all of these wells, and the E-5 well which will be drilled following E-4, to be immediately placed onto permanent production following testing.
